We pay our telecommunications companies good money for service, yet many areas still lag with adequate coverage. It is through this petition I hope to get enough support to justify the addition of extra telecommunications equipment between New Plymouth and Pio Pio. Many people travel through this area on State Highway 3 there is a long outage of cell phone reception in this area. The road can be treacherous, with slips,wandering stock and flooding etc. The extra coverage would have significant safety advantages, and I welcome your support in this area in helping us to acquire a better service.

The telecommunications companies continue to ignore the massive safety risks on State Highway 3 while we are left with nothing but dead zones. I am pushing hard to get this in front of the people responsible for this neglect because your stories about these treacherous road conditions prove that their corporate silence is dangerous.

The telecommunications giants are clearly starting to feel the heat because this momentum proves they cannot ignore us any longer. People are sick of risking their lives on State Highway 3 while these companies pocket our cash and refuse to provide basic service.

Living in the area I know how bad that stretch is. If you break down your stuck with no way to call for help. Fix it already.

My daughter drives this road daily for work. Makes me nervous not knowing if she can reach me if something happens.

Drove this route last week and the reception is non existent. Dangerous if you have an accident with no signal.

Needed to call emergency services out there once and it was impossible. Need better towers now.
